This image reminds me a bit of a similar scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where they find a ship in the middle of the desert. Except this ship is sailing the sand of Kerminihy beach, in Erdeven.

The cargo vessel is the TK Bremen, which was cruising near Brittany, northwest of France. The ship was stranded after high seas pushed it into the coastline. An oil slick has been reported floating on the coast, presumably from this accident.
